Of Frauds relative to the Coin. Reasons
precaution, so as he does but think it worth his while,
every man in a manner must feel, that, if he pleases, it
is in his power to guard himself effectually against suffering
by bad money. The case is that people in general
choose rather to run something of a hazard, than
to put themselves to such a degree of trouble in examining
the money they receive, as is necessary to secure them
effectually against deception. The more however, a man
would be affected by the loss, the more trouble he is at in
examining and the more likely he is to secure himself.
It happens fortunately enough in this instance, that
the more a man would suffer by any loss , the less likely
he is to incur it.(a) Quest. VII.
Note.
(a) In England with respect to the counterfeiting of the copper coin
in particular few are sufferers by it, but with their eyes open. By much
the greatest part of the counterfeit money is so palpably unlike, the imposture
is so gross, that it cannot pass upon any body who thinks it
worth his while to examine it with ever so little attention: so that the
mischief, though extensive, is not so great as one would imagine and the
low price of the metal effectually secures it against any contrivance that
could be employed for diminishing what is genuine.
